Alabama takes another stumble in latest US LBM Coaches Poll
The Week 3 contest against USF was supposed to be a tune-up game to prepare for Ole Miss next week and to recover from the loss to Texas. It was anything but.
Sure, the Crimson Tide walked away with a road win, but it wasn’t in a dominant fashion. Alabama scored only 17 points while allowing just a field goal by the Bulls.
In a year where not even the back-to-back national championship-winning Georgia Bulldogs look invincible, the Crimson Tide seems to be deviating the most from what fans expected of them.
Alabama is ranked No. 12 in the US LBM Coaches Poll entering Week 4.
